blackpoint - the au community

Either I'm pregnant, those pancakes hate me, or my body has finally shut down and given me the flu.

Bloody hell, this is what dying feels like, isn't it? Worse than any damned hangover.

It physically pains me to say this, but I think I might be gettin too old for this shit.


Ugh alright, lemmie try and pretend I don't have saltwater in my nose. Hello, I'm Porthos Du Vallon. Used to be a Musketeer. Been here, done that, nice to meet whoever I don't already know.

Now somebody give me a hug. Please and thank you.

[OOC: Future BP Porthos to go with Aramis & Tristan. I am sure exactly ZERO people are surprised.]

I've about had it with magic portals. I need to get back to my son.

After much deliberation, bartering, convincing and perhaps even a bit of begging, we are now the proud owners of this gorgeous beauty.

While she is no enchanted marvel like my own Roger, she is surely an upgrade from the cargo ship I was sailing before. And will no doubt bring in extra attention and revenue. She arrives today, and tomorrow will be a small gathering on the docks for her first true sailing with me as Captain.

Bloody hell. One more thing to ignore this year - and that bloody accent?? I've met Tiger Lily and that looks nothing like the lass.


Unrelated, we're having quite the feast here at the B&B for your Thanksgiving. If you've got no place to go, you're welcome here.

[FILTERED TO KILLIAN JONES]

The old man says this is what we look like as a woman.

I just thought you should know.

Taking the ship out to Big Island today to help with evacuations in Puna. One or two volunteers are welcome to join me, as are a donation of supplies. The lava is just a few miles from the village, and gaining movement.

FILTERED TO HIS JEFFERSON:

I plan on making short-term goodbyes in person, but I may be gone more than a day. Two, three. We'll be transporting people around the other side of the island, and I'll likely be making more than a few trips.

I'll be working Mischief Night and Halloween this year, so a few warnings to everyone:

1. Check your kid's candy haul. If it looks tampered with, assume that it has been and throw it out.
2. If you see any suspicious behavior any where, report it.
3. If you are responsible for any drunk and disorderly calls I get, I will make your life hell.

Happy Halloween!

Suppose it makes me a poor sport if I toss a tenant out on his arse, aye?



Well, good thing I'm not that great of a man. That should prove quite easily just how much of my edge is gone.

Well, the good news is that Jefferson and I have located a place not to ever move. The bad news being that we may now be quickly running through our supply of alcohol.

Grace, we'll be back in three days. Best begin cleaning up after your parties now.

Cheers to everyone to came to celebrate our nuptials, I'd apologize for dropping you lot off at the docks but we had business to attend to. I'm sure you understand.

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

FILTERED TO REGINA MILLS (ALL):

Wasn't sure which one would be the best for this, so if you'd rather ignore it, by all means.

But I require your assistance with something magic related, and I'm quite aware it means I will owe you.

FILTERED TO SCOTT MCCALL (RTW):

Oy, lad. Looking to earn a bit of extra coin next week?

[TEXT MESSAGE TO GRACE]

» I just got a call from your school asking if I had someone take you off campus without notifying the attendance office.
» Despite the suspicious timing of this phone call, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
» Are you all right?

[FILTERED TO CHASE STEIN]

You know, I think I get you. Easily bored. No respect for authority. Determined to push any buttons you can find.

Hell, I was you.

But unlike me, Grace has parents who are very much around and who care very much. That may not mean jack to you, but if you want to be in her life, no matter how small a part you want to play, you will damn well learn to respect it. And her. She's missed years of her education already. You're not going to endanger the rest.

[FILTERED TO KILLIAN JONES]

Grace skipped school to get waffles with a dinosaur and a deliquient.

Well, I suppose I have no proof that the dinosaur ate any waffles or that the delinquent was even there, but I think we can at least assume the latter.

[FILTERED TO NEVERLAND!KILLIAN JONES]

Remind me why I agreed to start a business that revolves around pleasing people.

Well. This island isn't Neverland, so that's a start.

( Mailed in Message Bottles to all Neverland OUAT & close friends. )

FILTERED AWAY FROM AURORA

I know considered old-fashioned, but can someone tell me if it's normal to pay thousands of dollars for a betrothal ring? I went looking around today and almost had a heart attack when I saw some of the prices.

I think it's time to dye my hair.

Papa, can we go out on Killian's boat for the fireworks tonight?

[FILTERED TO NEVERLAND!KILLIAN JONES]

We should get a dog.

This message brought to you by the ridiculous great dane I just saw on the way to the grocery store.

Being from any version of our world always skews these results.

( How else was I supposed to answer? )

Relatedly, Emma, let's go try something we've never done soon, before I become a sad internet dweller.
